Product Description

What's the dish way to entertain? Instead of a stressful sit-down, bring-out-the-good china dinner party for eight, it's a vibrant, stand-up kitchen tapas party with warm breads, dips and spiced nuts. Or, rather than a traditional buffet, it's a gourmet self-serve family-style spread.

Trish Magwood is the maven behind the concept that is dish. Known for her hit show party dish on the Food Network, and for her dish cooking studio/cooking school, catering company and specialty food shop - which emphasizes easy-tomaster techniques and fresh, readily available ingredients, Magwood has defined her own stylish, confident and sooo easy brand of entertaining. And dish entertains is exactly the book needed by time-starved chefs who want both innovative and classic entertaining recipes - simple, beautiful and always deliciously fabulous. Each chapter, from Dips and Nibbles, to Mains, to Desserts, is divided into a section of recipes for simple everyday hosting and a more elegant offering of "wow" recipes. And with more than 60 gorgeous, full-colour photos, this is a book as beautiful to use as it is to display.
